TEXT:
((TEXT)) THE NEXT DIFFEr'cENCE CONCERNS THE VIEW OF THE FATE OF
'I?H# UNION. YES, OF COURSE ,? THE DEFORMATIONS~WHICH HAVE ACCUMULATED
IN INTERETHNIC RELATIONS OVER THE DECADES AND THE INFRINGEMENT OF
TH# RIGHTS OF NATIONS, ETHNIC GROUPS, REPUBLICS, AND R?GIONS ARE
REALITIES WHICH HAVE BEEN PERPETRATED, BUT IT IS NECESSARY TO
OVERCOME THEM AND PRESERVE THE UNION STATE. IT IS A SUBJECT IN
INTERNATIONAL LAW, A GREAT POWER, A PERkANENT MEMBER OF THE UN
SECURITY COUNCIL, A POWER WHICH HAS SIGNED MRNY POSTWAR
AGREEMENTS. AND, ACCORDINGLY, 'IT I5 A STATE WHICH MUST POSSESS ALL
THE NECESSARY ATTRIBUTES iN THE ECONOMIC SPHERE a00, HAVE A UNIFIED
BORDER, A UNIFIED CUSTOM HOUSE AND TERRITORY, AND A UNIFIED
MONETARY SYSTEM, AND HAVE AT I.TS DISPOSAL THE USSR?CENTRAL STATE
BANK FULFILLING FUNCTIONS APPROXIMATING TO 'T HOSE FULFILLED IN
SIMILAR STATES BY THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM, AS IN THE UNITED
STATES, OR EY THE DEUTSCHE- BUNDESBANK IN THE FRG. ACCORDINGLY, NOT
ONLY DOES EACH REPUBLIC POSSESS SOVEREIGNTY BUT THE USSR ALSO HAS
ITS OWN SOVEREIGNTY AS A STATE. YES, THE POWERS AND THE BORDERS OF
SOVEREIGNTY ARE DETERMINED BY TREATY, BUT THIS IS ALL TO COME AND
DOES NOT YET EXIST, AND WE ARE ACCUSTOMING OURSELVES TO LIVING IN A
RULE-OF-LP.W STATE AND WE RESPECT AND OBSERVE THE LAWS. THE
COI.STITUTIONAL NORMS OF THE UItION EXTEND THROUGHOUT THE TERRITORY.
THE RUSSIAN SOVIET FEDERATED SOCIALIST REPUBLIC SUPREMs. SOVIET HAS
ADOPTED ~, CONCEPT AND A PROGRAM WHICri ESSENTIALLY PROCirEDS FROM
RECOGNITION OF THE ELIMINATION OF THE USSR AS A STATE. THIS UNION
IS ALSO SUPPLANTED BY A UNION,~BUT AN ECONOMIC ONE, BY SOME
INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT WHICH IS SAID EVEN TO BE CLOSE TO THE EC.
IT I5 POSSIBLE TO FIND A MORE ACCURATE DEFINITION -- THE BRITISH
COMMONWEP.LTH OF NATIONS, FOR EXAMPLE, OR MAYBE AN EVEN MORE
ACCURATE ONE: THE OLD CEMA WITH ALL ITS FLAWS.
F.S REGARDS THE NEW TJNION TREATY, IN MY VIEW SUBSEQUENT POLITICAL
AGREEMENTS WILL MERELY MAKE THE ECONOMIC UNION OFFICIAL, AND THE'
STATE'S DISINTEGRATION WILL BE P. FAIT ACCOMPLI. AND IT IS PROPOSED
TO DO THIS WITHOUT BROAD DISCUSSION, .N SECRET...
((3A3IFULLINA)) MAYBE THIS IS WHY .TIiERE IS SUCH HASTE?... .
((ABALKIN).) THE HASTE IS UNDERSTANDABLE T00. THE THING IS THAT
AT FIRST THE "500 DAYS" PROGRAM CONTAINED A KIND OF MYSTERY
EFFECT. YOU UNDERSTAND, THEY SUGsEST TO PEOPLE: THERE IS SOME '
MIP.ACULOUS MEANS, AND OUR PEOPL~. BELIEVE IN MIRACLES OR, AT LEAST,
THEY WANT TO BELIEVE THAT THERr IS A PbINL#SS PATH, WITHOL'~'
SACF.IPICES AND UPHEAVAi.S, WIT'r.~UT A DROP IN LIVING STANDARDS,
WITIiOUT A RISE IN PRICES...
YOiJ MIGHT HAVE NOTICED TFiP.T iN SUCH CRISIS SITUATIONS THER`

BEGINS A MASS .BELIEF IN ALIENS, UFO ~, EXTRASENSORY PERCEPTION, AND
MUCH ELSE. THIS IS A SOCIAL PHENOMENON, YOU KNOW. I SPOKE OF THIS
MANY YEARS AGO. THIS SITUATION BEGAN TO BE MANIFESTED. CLEARLY IN
THE LATE?SEVENTIES AND EARLY EIGHTIES. WAY SACK THEN I USED TO
APPEAR AND SAY 'H OW SOCIAL COLLISIONS GIVE RISE TO SUC~i A B1#LIEF.
AND SO THE "500 DAYS" PROGRAM ALSO CONTAINED A KIND OF MYSTERY
EFFECT. NO ONE HAD YET SEEN IT, BUT TH# IDEA OF ITS
MIRACLE-WORKING PROPERTIES WAS BEING PURP05EFULLY"AND
5XSTEMATICALLY INCULCATED IN THE MASS CONSCIOUSNESS.
BUT WHEN THE PROGRAM IS PLACED ON TH# TABLE, WHEN EVERYONE CAN?
READ IT, PERCEIVE SOME CONTRADICTIONS AND SHORTCOMINGS, OR, AT ANY
RATE, TAKE A CONSCIOUS AND CRITICAL APPROACH TO ITS CALCULATIONS
AND AUTHENTICITY, TIDE MYSTERY EFFECT-VANISHES. BUT THE TIME WHICH
ELAPSES BEFORE THE DECISION IS ADOPTED IS DESTRUCTIVE. AND SO
PEOPLE WANT TO ADOPT THE PROGRAM AS QUICKLX AS POSSIBLE, WITHOUT
PROFESSIONAL INVESTIGATION AND ANALYSIS, ON TRUST ALONE. "LET'S
BELIEVE SUCH NAMES?ARE THERE, SUCH HUMANE AIMS ARE PROCLAIMED.
LET'S ADOPT IT, AHD THEN WE CAN SEE. WE WILL AMEND IT, FINISH IT .
OFF, CORRECT IT, ELABORATE IT. WHY BOTHER WITH TRIFLES NOW? ..."
((GARI~'ULLINA)) AND, AT THE SAME TIME, BEGIN INTRODUCING THIS
PROGRAM SUPER-PROMPTLY, AS EARLY AS 1 OCTOBER?...
((ABALKiN)) THERE IS ANOTHER NUANCE HERE. YES, TIME IS
ALTOGETHER GETTING SHORT. THE GOVERNMENT PROGRAM IS ALSO SHORT OF
TIME, AND WE MUST NOT DELAY FOR LONG. OCTOBER 1 MARKS THE START OF
THE FOURTH QUARTER -- WE T00 EMPHASIZE THIS IN OUR. PROGRAMS. ONLY
THERE THIS DATE IS A ZERO OPTION.-- THERE HAS BEEN NO?HISTORY, AND
NOTHING AT ALL HAS HAPPENED BEFORE 1 OCTOBER. AND YET THERE IS
HISTORY. THE REFORM,IS ALREADY UNDER WAY. THE LAWS ON OWNERSHIP,
LAND, AND LEASING HAVE ALREADY BEEN ADOPTED, THE TAX SYSTEM HAS
BEEN .ADOPTED, AND THE LAW ON THE POPULATION'S 3NCOME TAX HA5 BEEN
IN EFFECT SINCE 1 JULY.
((GARIFULLINA)) WAS ALL THIS THE PREPARATION?
((ABALKIN)) XES, THE PREPARATION, BUT ALSO THE INTRODUCTION OF
THE REFORM. THE RESOLUTION ON JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES WAS ADOPTED SO
AS NOT TO WAIT FOR ANY FURTHER LEGISLATIVE ACTS. THE FIRST
COMPANIES HAVE ALREADY BEEN REGISTERED. COMMERCIAL BANKS, WHICH
ARE THE SECOND LEVEL OF THE. BANKING SYSTEM -- THERE ARE ALREADY
APPROXIMATELY 300 OF. THEM -- ARE PREPARING THE GROUND. THE FIRST
TRADE EXCHANGES HAVE ALREADY BEEN SET UP AND ARE BEGINNING TO
FUNCTION. LIFE I5 ON THE MOVE THE COOPERATIVE MOVEMENT IS
DEVELOPING TOO.
